The newest collaboration among the prestigious Swiss manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen, the respected art publisher TASCHEN and the worldwide popular American photographer Michael Muller resulted in a creation of a stunning Aquatimer Chronograph Edition “Sharks”. This exceptional diver is produced in the limited quantity of 500 sorts.
The well-known photographer has spent the last few years documenting sharks in the wild. He was equipped with nothing but a patented seven-bulb 1200-watt strobe lighting rig while dived deep into the ocean to capture these fascinating creatures. The collection of his photographs was published earlier this year in his Taschen book entitled “Sharks”. Each model from this special collection has hand-signed copy of this book presented in a bite-proof metal shark cage.
Muller’s achievement has inspired the Schaffhausen-based manufacturer to produce this exclusive special edition timepiece. As we got used to a part of the proceeds from sales will go to support the Charles Darwin Foundation. This international not-for-profit scientific organization campaigns for the preservation of the shark population in the Galapagos Marine Reserve.
The case is shielded with sapphire crystals and beneath the front glass lies with a gray dial, which is said to be motivated by the color of many shark species. According to the international standards for diver’s timepieces, the dial comprises luminescent coatings to provide the best legibility even in deep murky water. The replica IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Edition “Sharks” is housed in a stainless steel case measuring 44mm in diameter and 17mm in thickness.
On the contrary, the case back of this special edition timepiece is encrusted with a special engraving depicting a group of hammerhead sharks swimming.
The beating heart of this impressive diving instrument is the in-house manufactured caliber which combines a flyback chronograph function with a self-winding system. The mechanical chronograph movement is built on 35 jewels and provides power reserve of 68 hours.
The Fake Aquatimer Chronograph Edition “Sharks” is equipped with the IWC’s SafeDive system which ensures that the internal bezel can only be set in an anticlockwise direction. Dive times can be adjusted by using the external/internal rotating bezel. The new Aquatimer comes with a cozy rubber strap with a quick change system on a steel pin buckle. The special edition timepiece can be purchased in IWC replica watches boutiques worldwide.

The best Swiss watchmaker presented its latest creation at the inaugural Watches & Wonders salon in Hong Kong, a Millenary Minute Repeater, powered by an innovative mechanism. This technological masterpiece is in great value not only because it features the minute repeater complication, but also its in-house escapement and an atypical construction of the regulating organ, consisting of two balance springs, offering top accuracy, long-term stability and shock resistance, while cutting down the loss of power at the same time. Apart from its technical perfection, the new timepiece from the popular Millenary Collection looks truly amazing. You know it has the features of its dynamic three-dimensional architecture, powerful pink gold case and a unique interface.
This extraordinary timepiece brings together the oldest watch complication which dates from the 15th century and the 21st century architecture of the robust, 18 karat pink gold case with the diameter of 47 mm. This nice polished and shaped case houses a real masterpiece, new 2928 Calibre hand-winding movement, totally upgraded and manufactured by the fake Audemars Piguet. The first thing to be mentioned is the creative escapement that combines the reliability of a traditional, Swiss lever escapement with best effects of a direct impulse escapement, ensuring the optimal energy transmission. What’s more, this replica Audemars Piguet‘s escapement does not require the use of lubricants, and it raises precision and stability of the mechanism in the end.
Another gorgeous characteristic that comes with the new mechanism is the opposite-facing double spring system which offers huge advantages. Thanks to two barrels, the fully wound mechanism works up to seven days. The third barrel, which is two-and-a-half times larger than normal, stores the energy for the minute repeater mechanism. The balance spring beats at the frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. Owing to a balance-stop system, accurate time-setting is guaranteed, while a security device which is the part of the new winding system prevents from eventual damages.
The stunning design of the interface gives a wearer to observe the mechanism with hand-beveled edges and interior angles, along with the overall galvanic treatment. For the complete impression, there is a sapphire crystal case-back. You can also see a ‘blued’ gong of the minute repeater on the dial side, which matches the color of hour, minute and small seconds hands. A white enamel dial is nicely off-centered, providing the unique angle of showing time. It is equipped by stylish Roman numerals in different sizes. A small-seconds sub-dial is cut in the larger display which is another beautiful aesthetic detail. New Millenary Minute Repeater replica watch is equipped with a fabulous brown leather band that well matches the color of the golden case.
